Full Job Description

About Pallet Pallet is building AI Agents to transform logistics — a $12 trillion global industry. We’ve raised $50M from top investors, including General Catalyst, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Bain Capital Ventures. In under two years, we’ve achieved 700% revenue growth and are just getting started. Our mission is to increase the efficiency of the global supply chain by automating the manual workflows that slow logistics teams down — from scheduling and appointment setting to data entry and load management.

The decisions you make today will become the defaults the company operates on for years. Security at Pallet is not a separate function or compliance layer. It is a design constraint embedded directly into the systems we build. We want someone who naturally asks: What happens when this fails? Who should have access to this? How do we reduce the blast radius? Can we eliminate this problem entirely? And th
